BC used to have a decent presence of big American chains such as Tony Roma’s, Hooters, Applebee’s, TGI Friday’s, Macaroni Grill, Rainforest Cafe… but as of the last two decades have all disappeared despite thriving in Alberta and Ontario

The demographics are just not there, at least the lower mainland. Most of these chain restaurants serve sub-par food for high prices.
All the Asians are going to Korean/Japanese restaurants serving high-quality authentic food. The Millenials have Main street and commercial drive with hip restaurants. The boomers have their Italian restaurants in North Burnaby or White Spot.
